Christmas Day - The Truth



It's shristmas day, don't say, no way

Time flies so fast that I'm caught short

No Xmas prezzies have been bought

Just poems on what I've been taught


I've rushed about, I'm getting fraught

Afraid plus plans will come to nought


Last night I had a drink, a few

Today, it's none, just one, or two

As designated driver

Saving license, car and liver


I hope that nobody suspects

I'm already planned what comes next

When prices are not quite so dear

I'll buy my outfit for next year


In sales we'll buy more sweet mince pies

Terrific, calorific and good

Leftover turkey, Christmas cake

Nuts, silver tinsel, Christmas pud


Maybe Champagne, a drink or two

Sequins, red Santa hat and wig

A photo showing what we do

Before we all fall off the twig


Imagine Santa in the sky

Is where we all good children go

To get rewarded when we die

To race across the snow cloud sky


We get rewarded with a sleigh

I'd like a new Rolls Royce I'd say

We wrote letters back in the day

I guessed I wouldn't get my way


The plastic reindeer glowing bright

Never seem to sleep tight at night

Alas I'm wise, I've learned the truth

'You can't park your sleigh on my roof'


I believed in Santa Claus

Got prezzies in bows by the tree

Years have flown by so fast

Now old, white-haired Santa is me.
